Ok so this is the deal, I usually deposite 100$ into my full tilt account so thats my bankroll, I play cash games only currently 6 player tables not so much HU cuz i find my bankroll is to little, I buy in 10$ at every table so that gives me only x10 my buy in and I play at 0.25/0.50$ stakes were the min is 10$ buy in.

So I find I can do good at times were I can make 30$ in a hour 20$ in a hour etc... but second I hit a couple of bad beats that hurt my bankroll i tend to tilt till im broke or have to change my game and play super tight cuz my bankroll is low or lower.

I think that I am playing with to low of a bankroll which I should have x40 my buy in and I think that for $10 buy in i should be at a lower limit Am i right? If so could you please help me find a good stakes to play at and tell me whats a good bankroll and also for the amount I buy in and stakes I should be playing what should my hourly goal be ? and one more thing any tips on helping myself when I tilt?

Read Fox's article on Bankroll Management. (http://www.pocketfives.com/poker-art...gement-2425952)

Depending on what your poker goals are, it sounds like you are playing WAY too high for a $100 roll. You're shortstacking, which in the long run is -EV. Buying into games for the minimum limits moves significantly.

Even playing at .5/.10 NL and buying in for max ($10), you're risking 10% of your roll which is no good. You should be at .1/.2 cent absolutely grinding.

Invest in the $1 MTTs & SNGs as well. LOTS of people just willing to give it away. Stick to ABC poker at low limits and you will jump quick.

Put it this way, my goal every day is to increase my bankroll by 1%. If you do this with an $100 bankroll, you will have $200 in just under 95 days. This means you would just have to double up ONCE at a .1/.2 cent table to make your dollar. Pretty simple if you ask me. Just stuff it in with the nuts and some spewhead will call you.

FYI -- Tilt is the worst thing that can happen to a cash game player cuz you will spew with Ax, small PPs, etc. Just sit out for a half hour, grab a snack and/or a drink, realize what put you on tilt, and ONLY sit back down when you have the spazz out of your system. You need a clear head to play poker.

GL @ the tables.

And play above your stakes, get dealt a couple bad beats, and be down 4-5 buy-ins? If he's playing .1/.2c and gets a bad beat, it's only 1% of his roll. If he's playing .25/.50c w/ $10 and gets hit with a bad beat, it's 10% of his roll. A lot more difficult to bounce back.

If he's just playing for fun, then sure, sit and spew away at .25/.50c. If he wants to take his game serious and not re-deposit within a week, then I suggest starting at a lower level.

Thanks alot guys, good stuff yea Im playing wayy to high, I look at most of the people in 0.25/0.50 and they all have around 50$ buy ins so they pretty much could bully me or even worse I cant even play poker lol if I try to bluff I really cant cuz im risking my 10$ stack and most guys will just call any of my bluffs cuz I have little money compaired to them so yea im def gonna go down to wayy lower stakes and im also gonna try this week to put a 200$ deposite giving me x20 buy ins and stick to a lower goal.

If you guys got any more help/tips keep them coming cuz im getting some good information.

With 100 bucks you should never have to redeposit again. Build it up to like 300 play the 650's. Then you have some BR to play some cash games..

Lets just say I have 400$ br and I buy in 10$ giving me x40 buy ins and I play good poker meaning I go in most hands with the top hand etc.. and I play 0.5/0.10 6 player tbl for 5-8 hours a day and I only leave the table when i either double up or go bust with the 10$ how much should I try to make hourly without getting greedy?

And is it smart to go in a room play till i double up and then leave and go to a new room or should i stay in the other room for the whole hour ? I like to go in a room play for a while till i double up and I leave is that wrong? or is it smart to leave when im up before i lose?

and ideas or help?

Just wanted to thank everyone for your help I am currently doing very very well, been avg 7-10$ a hour and having a + profit every day since i moved down stakes im currently playing 0.5/0.10 and finding it alot better since im not getting bullied around!
